What parents need to know
Parents need to know that this 3D concert is G-rated. There's nothing inappropriate to keep away the hordes of adoring primary-school fans, who along with their tween and teen counterparts, will want to see their beloved Kevin, Joe, and Nick burn up on screen. Like Disney's other chosen acts, the Jonases are incredibly clean-cut. They obviously don't drink, swear, or do much more than occasionally, in the case of Joe, flirt with a pretty fan or two. When they're not on stage, they're shown attending promotional events around New York.
What's the story?
JONAS BROTHERS: THE 3D CONCERT EXPERIENCE is a tween girl's dream come true. For 76 minutes, fans get a look at Kevin (the side-burned one), Joe (the heartthrob), and Nick (the adorable one) at their sold-out 2008 Madison Square Garden concert. Aside from a few scenes of the brothers off-stage (hanging out in their hotel room with protective bodyguard Big Rob, making nonstop publicity stops around New York City, and driving to buy the first three copies of their
album A Little Bit Longer) the action is the concert itself, with a couple of guest appearances from friends, fellow tween-pop acts Taylor Swift and Demi Lovato.
Is it any good?
It might sound ridiculous, but this is basically a Disney-fied, 2009 version of Led Zeppelin's The Song Remains the Same. Both follow an insanely popular group's performance
at Madison Square Garden. Both provide very limited glimpses into the musicians' personal lives. And both cater to the bands' huge fanbases. But instead of loopy '70s fantasy sequences,
the Jonases stage a music video in Central Park dressed like Gatsby partygoers. Instead of providing the soundtrack to which a generation got, ahem, "Dazed and Confused," the Jonases sing catchy, inoffensive pop tunes girls 6 to 16 everywhere adore. The real difference is that 30 years from now there probably won't be hardcore Jonas Brothers fans to keep this unremarkable concert film in circulation.
Fans Burnin' Up for the boys should be prepared that there's absolutely nothing gossip-worthy in this "documentary" -- unless the sight of Lovato or Swift on stage with the brothers, or for that matter, a peek at Kevin's chest hair, is enough to make you shriek. Think of this event flick as merely a way for the 99-percent of Jonas Brothers devotees who couldn't buy tickets to finally see their concert. Parents should also be prepared -- take earplugs to the theater.
What families can talk about
Families can talk about the Jonas Brothers' popularity. What makes the Brothers the latest Disney-anointed phenomenon?
How do they compare to Hannah Montana?
Why is their music so appealing to younger kids?
Does the concert movie
give a real look at the Brothers off stage?What else would you have
liked to see about Kevin, Joe, and Nick?

The Jonas Brothers- Eww...They are gross.
I hate the Jonas Brothers. They sing like ducks, and are really ugly. I think that it was so stupid that they made a movie out of their concert. EWWW!!! Who would actually watch that!!

I found it completly boring..
I really don't understand why its called a 'movie' they should make a name for concerts on DVD. Anyway, I'm not really a fan of the Jonas Brothers, but I guess some people are, if you are by all means watch the movie. But I truely think its a waste because they don't sing right on pitch even if they did get help with the CD companies. I don't 'hate' them, I just don't like them. Its rediculous that most people like them because they're 'hot' I thought it was the music that mattered. I have no comment on their appearence because its not for me to say, and its not like they can help wiether they're 'ugly' or not. Its too long of a 'movie' and most people would get bored.. but I ain't a 'hater' so don't throw that 'your stupid and tone deaf' stuff at me. The Jonas Brothers are on way too much as goes for every other 'pop rock sensation' in the 'Disney' buisness, why do they even call it Disney anymore? Call it Tween City or something and let real Disney have its own channel. I want to watch Disney not MTV. They aren't 'horrible' and it isn't like I wish they were dead or nothing, I'm just not a fan.

Good
Again, my 4 and 7 year olds loved it! We went shopping one dreary afternoon for "boring stuff" as they call it. I can swear that when they saw the marquee that said that the Jonas Brothers movie was playing, they got so excited! Even Joseph, Kaylee, and Kya went in, and Railegh and Alexis loved it, naturally. Alexis and her started bouncing and screaming when Kevin and Joe were shirtless! Luckily it wasn't too crowded, and nobody seemed to mind, but strange... but I guess my daughters liked it!
